You could have let me know that earlier Jazzy - But i love donating one month old brand new clothes! Makes me happy Good to here super - i use a elipitical machine and it shreds off the pounds fast as hell

Fully screwed up myself also - However i got my head out of my Ass and got on track - 3 months later i am perfectly balanced out - Get a blood test and see where you are messed up and then get on it - It is key to this journey as you see below i may be a little OCD about it now

Same boat here Steve I am officially off all my blood meds and related stuff after two stints and 99 percent blockage of the widow maker. Made me so light headed and dizzy - Saw the heart surgeon and he immediately stopped them = All I take now is the baby asprin - Also make sure you are hydrated, I have a extreme issue with dehydration cant seem to get that leveled in - I am lucky though my kid is Paramedic so i cheat and he pumps in a IV bag when i am really low on water.

Congrads and welcome to the Club!

Are you not drinking at the time of eating? Mix the two and it gets ugly for some. No drink for 20 min before eat

Chill out its mental games going on! This is a common thread here - You have to ask yourself a few questions 1. The current lifestyle you are living is it going to kill you? Fat People Die 2. Do i want to get healthy and live longer? You do the surgery and follow the plan its guaranteed As for the pain, The rewards are much better then the discomfort, This is not a painful surgery, Get your chest cut open for bypass and break your sternum that is a painful surgery. Read around this site - yes you have hell week like marine boot camp but then it gets better every day, Just sleep it off - buckle down and plow thru it. Look around you there are others who need you! So live and be healthy or go on amazon and buy a Urn cuz you are currently killing yourself so the jar is soon to come after you get diabetis and other issues related to being obese! The support you get here is unlimited, and nobody here went dancing into the surgery not nervous it is common, but we all did it and so can you - It really is not that bad of a procedure Aj

I walked out to the car from the hospital and lit up the parking lot with black dried blood but that was 24 hours post op! I would for sure make a call to Doc.

Ok as a male i sure am glad me and my dog got neutered - I have seen this type of post to many times - This correlation between WLS and getting pregnant is scary I have no advise for you - except call doctors! but do have congratulations on the new little one! Guess it is a bonus to WLS. Enjoy the journey and new baby! 🍼

I have only seen the show briefly but Reality TV does not seem like a good source of information to me! There are wizards on here who have amazing amounts look at the total amount of weight lost by the members clock on the right side. I just added it up and it is off by 3 pounds! Nobody here is going to tell you this is easy decision, Nobody here is going to tell you its all fairy dust and unicorns in this journey, However nobody here who had the surgery and is following the plan is not healthier. For me it was the best decision i made and may keep me out of the urn sooner/ Good luck

Welcome to the gang!

I did very little research in fact i did not realize there was other surgery options out there, I had family member a brother that did the sleeve before me, so i just went with that and did the sleeve, However There a ton of posts here with this same topic of types - with ton of issues

This thread cracks me up! I agree F@#ck them - You look healthy and happy that is all that matters! Mean People Suck!

Are you hungry or is it in your head? Search here for Head hunger! I know it sounds stupid but it is a real thing

Tank is full - Also i was eating to fast - Try slowing down with your food intake. They have guidelines to speed of eating but those are just that guidelines, for me i have to eat much slower to avoid the gas that causes burping. As you swallow food you are also taking in air, so slower eating = less air

IT was not political!!!! - It was a shot at Fluffy for fun for the exact same post above- Trust me I could care less about views on politics and religion - to me that is your private life and i never express or even have a view! Im lucky if i know who the president even is! Dang i am the first one to get blocked - I feel special!

If those are on here i missed them! i agree not appreciated or necessary but i see some to the point harsh ones! By the way gotta combat that joke from Fluffy with the male one! EVERYONE READ THIS .............. MEAN PEOPLE SUCK!

Hello back and welcome to the club! Your journey is just getting started but you have no idea what a great one it will be!

Its tough nobody will ever argue that - But you got this this - Stay calm - DO not push the food eating, and try and move a little - You will look back at this in 4 months and never remember the bad parts because the good out ways so much of the bad! Reach out here anytime - All of us have been knocked down hard exactly like you are right now!

We all are or were fat - So we are now getting healthy and if you can not take a little help that may not be your view or hash, Im sorry its called tough love! I know i am harsh and right to the point! Always been that way But ...................... Everyone should understand we are out to help, Grow from the experiences of others, get thru this journey! Alot of people take time out of there lives to share, assist and at times give there views! I have been scorned on this site and you know what, Good I got my head out of my anus! So i say we try and be careful but this is not the place to be soft and mushy! (Actually our food has to but not our attitudes) So there now come at me with guns blazing - Cuz i do not care just expressing my view on this matter - but i do appreciate all the help from the many here!

Maybe the reason People got fat was from the weed munchy - There has to be a more healthier solution then weed - Just my view

I agree with above Depends on the food - One thing that is rough for me is Bananas

Yes it is congrads and it only gets better

Fully agree - I can not sit for long and especially on a normal chair, I actually have added a few bar stools with backs to my kitchen, and put my desk up to bar hieght - One thing that really has helped is cross fit seems to have made a slight difference in how long i can sit and stay in one position. Try a bar stool - Padded of course seems to be easier on the Ass =

So you kicked the addiction to food sugar and carbs and now want to get permission to be stoned and eat Honey Sugar with THC in it? do me a favor call the doctor and tape the conversation would love to hear that. Weed is a addiction, yes it has some minor medical help my view is your are transfering your addictive personality to a different item = However its your life live it

Congrads keep having fun
